even if nothing is attached to input.
They'll use black image with render resolution
as a background if nothing is attached to mask input.
Was a request from 4K ToS project.
This keeps old behavior and could be nice. However, it'll
make compositing slower (doing final compo after editing
tree). This is easy to hide preview in this case, and also
i hope to implement percentage rendering soon.
This commit simply implements mapping from centered cropped canvas
to a full-frame coordinates, so operations like alpha-overing render
result on top of image will be properly aligned.
Make it so compositor output node wouldn't be calculated
when Render Result image is not visible on the screen.
This makes compositor tree editing more friendly and
faster.
Also, if there's no viewer image visible on the screen
viewer nodes wouldn't be handled.
Final rendering keeps unchanged for now.
This solves issues when for performance artists are
disconnecting compo output node before tweaking values
in compositor and forgets to attach compo output
node before sending file to the farm.
Pretty much straightforward change, made in the same way as
texture input node.
Shall not be any regressions or crashes when mixing usage
of 2.66 and current trunk.
PyNodes opens up the node system in Blender to scripters and adds a number of UI-level improvements.
=== Dynamic node type registration ===
Node types can now be added at runtime, using the RNA registration mechanism from python. This enables addons such as render engines to create a complete user interface with nodes.
Examples of how such nodes can be defined can be found in my personal wiki docs atm [1] and as a script template in release/scripts/templates_py/custom_nodes.py [2].
=== Node group improvements ===
Each node editor now has a tree history of edited node groups, which allows opening and editing nested node groups. The node editor also supports pinning now, so that different spaces can be used to edit different node groups simultaneously. For more ramblings and rationale see (really old) blog post on code.blender.org [3].
The interface of node groups has been overhauled. Sockets of a node group are no longer displayed in columns on either side, but instead special input/output nodes are used to mirror group sockets inside a node tree. This solves the problem of long node lines in groups and allows more adaptable node layout. Internal sockets can be exposed from a group by either connecting to the extension sockets in input/output nodes (shown as empty circle) or by adding sockets from the node property bar in the "Interface" panel. Further details such as the socket name can also be changed there.

Added compatibility option "Straight Alpha Output" to image input node
When this option is enabled, image input node will convert float buffer
to straight alpha.
This is not what you'll usually want with new alpha pipeline, nit this
is needed to preserve compatibility with older files saved in 2.65.
In that version byte image are resulting with straight alpha passing
to the compositor and alpha-overing required extra premultiplication
of inputs.
So, that's why Straight Alpha Output is needed -- it's set in versioning
code for byte node images so they'll still output straight alpha.
This option is currently only available in N-panel.
Additional change: added Alpha Mode for image input node to N-panel.
Justa cluster did not have enough memory to handle all Mango 4k scenes.
Option is default disabled and can be enabled in the performance panel.

is straight or not (premultiplied is default).
This is useful in cases when you want to check on output of such nodes
as keying which does have straight alpha output.
Also added missing do_version code to previous compo do_versions.
makes it possible to specify an offset relative to the render resolution (so 0.5
is half the image rather than giving the number of pixels). It's a bit late but
it's a trivial change and needed for 4k mango render.
Added additional buffers - new subtree - for groupnodes.
One needs to be aware of how groupnodes should be created.
Having translate & scale nodes, with the translate inside the groupnode and the scale node outside, causes artefacts.
Both should be inside or outside the groupnode. Same holds for other distort nodes.
this patch enables the translate node to wrap around the image borders. This is especially needed if the translate node is not used to position elements on a layer but when it is used instead for seamless backgrounds like mountains or clouds that should be repeated over time (by animating the x/y values).
No trunk without docs! So here is my documentation: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Plasmasolutions/TranslateNodeExtension
The code is properly documented and should be easy to read and understand. When there are any problems or issues, please comment, I'll tackle them right away!
Greetings, Thomas Beck
* optimized determination dependant areas
* fixed some issues with scale node
There are still some issues when scaling very small values (x=0.0001)

Gamma correction option was ignored by new compositor system.
Also new compositor was doing alpha premul in a wrong way. In fact,
not sure if it should do premul -- old compositor didn't do that..
This commit makes BKE_image_acquire_ibuf referencing result, which means once
some area requested for image buffer, it'll be guaranteed this buffer wouldn't
be freed by image signal.
To de-reference buffer BKE_image_release_ibuf should now always be used.
To make referencing working correct we can not rely on result of
image_get_ibuf_threadsafe called outside from thread lock. This is so because
we need to guarantee getting image buffer from list of loaded buffers and it's
referencing happens atomic. Without lock here it is possible that between call
of image_get_ibuf_threadsafe and referencing the buffer IMA_SIGNAL_FREE would
be called. Image signal handling too is blocking now to prevent such a
situation.
Threads are locking by spinlock, which are faster than mutexes. There were some
slowdown reports in the past about render slowdown when using OSX on Xeon CPU.
It shouldn't happen with spin locks, but more tests on different hardware would
be really welcome. So far can not see speed regressions on own computers.
This commit also removes BKE_image_get_ibuf, because it was not so intuitive
when get_ibuf and acquire_ibuf should be used.
Thanks to Ton and Brecht for discussion/review :)
this node allows for more control for normalization of the mapped input range.

Originally issue was discovered when using stabilization and movie distortion
nodes, but in fact issue was caused by render layer node always doing nearest
interpolation. Now made it so this node will respect sampler passed to it's
executePixel function and do an interpolation.
Added two new functions to do bilinear/bicubic interpolation in float buffer
with variable number of components per element, so it could interpolate 1, 3
and 4 component vectors. This functions currently mostly duplicates the same
functions from imageprocess.c and it should actually be de-duplicated. Think
it's ok to leave a bit of time with such duplication, since functions should
be generalized one more time to support byte buffers, which could backfire on
readability.
Also removed mark as complex from stabilization node, which isn't needed sine
int fact this node is not complex.
Storing this list in the node has the advantage of requiring far fewer calls to the potentially expensive internal_connect callback. This was called on every node redraw ...
Also it will allow Cycles to properly use the internal links for muted nodes, which ensures consistent behavior. The previous method was not applicable in Cycles because transient list return values are not supported well in the RNA and particularly the C++ API implementation.
This makes it possible to create pixelized scale in the Tile compositor.
Just append the node in front of a scale node or where you want the pixelization to take place.
There were some bugs on this subject, but they used the work around to add a blur size of 0 in the place where they need the pixelization.
* Node muting in node groups didn't work.
[#32597] Mute one node in a group blocks it
It looked for connections in the main tree, and not inside the group.
